I'd been wondering about the possibilities of investing in renewable energy
sources now, too. Not doubting Mike, but I'd welcome more opinions on this
subject.

Is it the right time to invest in renewable energy? Which type?

Note that you can probably assume that readers of this list have some
interest in renewable energy from a social and/or technological viewpoint.
Can we please ignore the feel-good factor, and just talk $?

Thanks,
Emlyn
